Unfortunately, cameras are limited by the laws of physics. Your iPhone is enabled by smaller and denser chips with more power than the large desktop computers of decades ago your iPhone screen is a higher resolution than most TVs, packed into a tiny 5 inch size, and your camera, too, is only a fraction of the size of a digital camera from years past. Technology always strives for miniaturization. You’ll notice that while technologies come and go, and even the medium changes (this camera, while externally similar, moved from 35mm film to digital), the camera stayed a similar shape, and most importantly, size.

Why? Physics.Ĭonsider this series showing the evolution of Canon’s cameras over more than half a century: This image, which is a ‘raw’ capture, is much noisier than what you’d get from a dedicated, full-size camera. This noisy shot didn’t come from an iPhone 5- this is from an iPhone 13 Pro. Some bits of processing are creative, like adding contrast to make things “pop,” while other decisions are to compensate for the weaknesses of the hardware, like noise.Ĭonsider this underprocessed iPhone photo: For example, some of the colors your camera sees can’t be represented on your screen, so it needs to find something close. The zero’s and one’s that your sensor sees would mean nothing to the human eye. When you take a photo on a modern iPhone - or any smartphone for that matter - you might like to think that what you saw was what you captured, but nothing could be further from the truth. Looking at the raw data, I’ve concluded that while Apple has taken more than one leap forward in hardware, they’re in a tricky position in software. I take photos in both Apple’s app and our own - and that lets me do something that Apple’s can’t: take native RAW photos. These shots let me poke and prod at the unprocessed photo that comes straight out of the hardware. An average iPhone user snaps a picture in Apple’s Camera app, and… I work on my own camera app. Most smartphone reviews and technology websites list the new iPhone 13 Pro’s camera system as being up there with the best on the market right now.īut I must admit I don’t take photos like most people. “Quirk”? This might be a bit of a startling thing to read, coming from many reviews. I had to research a particular set of quirks.

This year’s deep dive into Apple’s latest and greatest - the iPhone 13 Pro - took extra time. In the age of smart cameras, there are more quirks than ever. This takes weeks (or this year, months) after initial reviews, because I believe in taking time to understand all the quirks and features. Where other reviews might come out immediately and offer a quick impression, we spend a lot of time testing it before coming to our verdict. As the makers of a camera app, we tend to take a longer look at these upgrades.

Apple releases new iPhones, and they’re certain to upgrade the cameras.
